I purchased this Minnie Rag Doll for my daughter when she was a little girl and she is still in remarkable condition , my daughter fell in love with her when we were yard sale hopping, she has that cute daisy hat and pie eyes ,now she belongs to my granddaughter. I'm not sure when she was made,but she is still quite cute!
This appears to be a "Charlotte Clark" Minnie Doll, remarkable condition. I don't think anyone has made a remake of these, but could be mistaking on that. But the design and size in perfect, So if it's an original piece, it would date mid 1930's. Again remarkable condition, true treasure!!
Thank You kerry10456 for your comments and information , I appreciate it!
You're welcome and thank you for sharing this wonderful Minnie.
Kerry I do not believe the one posted on your link is original is a 1939 Clark Minnie . Wrong fabric on her , wrong flower in hat ect and more signs she is a later version of the 1939 . So don't cry ok :-) xoxo
Here is the real one notice the cloth flower they would have used at time ,fabric is different ect

Mani, you're the best. I'm sure you're correct, I don't know of anybody that knows more about Antique dolls than you.

Kerry this one almost appears as homemade from a pattern. To many things not right about it to be 1939. From the nose to material to eye paint . It is 99.9% a repro . The cloth flower I refer to is small one in hat , They used cloth fuzzy flowers back then, sewing is not old enough either .
